Mass Effect (Both OG trilogy and Andromeda)

CoD MW trilogy (the new one)

911 and 911 Lone Star

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2

Heated Rivalry (Game Changer book series)

CURRENT FICS:

Found Family Masterlist (Hiatus, will go back to eventually)

Soldier of Heaven (Abandoned)

A Soldier's Eyes (TBD!)

Scott's No good, very bad day (WIP project title... look, I needed something)

One of my favorite cliff headcanons is that he is supportive of Ilya and Shane, but he doesn't really get it not bc of the whole 'Shane is boring Ilya is not' propaganda everyone on the internet is saying he thinks Shane makes sense for Ilya he just doesn't understand how gay relationships work, like he understands conceptually that people are gay and Shane and ilya are in a gay relationship he understands they are in love, and they fuck, and he isn't homophobic, but he has never seen a gay couple and especially a gay couple where both parties are Masc and all his experiences with romance are based on relationships with traditional gender roles so he thinks that's how gay relationships work also so when the summer after their wedding he calls ilya up like 'bro I missed you we gotta catch up and shit' and ilya is like 'I can't leave my beautiful husband to come see your ugly mog you understand' but Shane feels bad that Ilya had to leave Marley when he moved bc he is a good friend he was at their wedding and shit and Shane lowkey wants to prove he deserves ilya to marly bc ilya doesn't have any family left that isn't his asshole brother so sveta and marly are the closest thing he has to family, and he wants them to like him and its stupid bc it's not like if Marley doesn't like him anything will change they are already married, but he just needs this one thing to work out so bad so he is like 'why don't you invite him to the cottage I am sure he'd love to spend time there and I want to get to know him better he is one of your best friends.'

So Ilya invites Marley to the cottage and Shane brings his A game he is usually a good husband naturally, but he is trying to impress Marley so he brings flowers to ilya when he gets back from grocery shopping or cooks his favorite meals or is just being generally physicality affectionate in front of cliff like kissing his forehead and holding his hand while watching a movie that type of stuff bc he knows ilya likes being shown off, and he tries to do all the little house errands that need to be done himself so ilya can spend his time with cliff catching up and eventually when Shane is out of the house for like a commercial cliff finally is like 'dude why is Hollander doing all that I thought he was the girl are you the girl?.' And ilya is like 'first we are both men so what the fuck second if you say that about my husband again I will hit you hard.' And cliff is like trying to explain himself by saying he thought all relationships had one person who was the one getting spoiled and one person who spoils them and the one getting spoiled is always the girl based on his relationship with woman and ilya is like wow he is in a prison of his own making, and he tells Shane and Shane feels so bad bc it kinda reminds him of how he thought about relationships before he realized he liked man, and he doesn't think cliff likes men, but he still wants to talk to him about it, and they end up sitting down and talking about how if he wants quote unquote princess treatment he can just ask for what he wants and needs relationships are about compromise and just bc they are men doesn't mean they don't deserve nice things also and of course cliff understands him to an extent, but he is a little stupid, so his takeaway isn't 'I should ask for what I want fuck gender roles' its 'dating a dude is like having a best friend who fucks you and still treats you like a princess, and he is like maybe I should date a dude.' But Shane isn't there for the second part of this revelation ilya is so he is like 'yes you should.' And then cliff wishes them a good rest of their vacation and leaves and then when they meet up during the season 4 months or so later cliff sees Shane on the ice, and he is like an exited puppy so he goes up to him and tells him he's got a boyfriend, and thanks him for the advice and tells him how awesome it's been and Shane is stunned for the rest of the game but after the game ilya is like supper smug bc he knew this was going to happen and is like 'cliff invited us to meet his boyfriend.' And Shane is like 'fuck it I guess this is my life now at least cliff likes me.'

This idea is so funny to me omg OP

Shane (indirectly) telling Cliff "hey your girlfriends should treat you better, you also deserve nice things in relationships" - Cliff of course misinterprets this and returns 6 months later like "hey so I got a boyfriend and he treats me like a princess, thanks for the advice Hollander!" and Shane is baffled and bewildered but ultimately supportive

I don't really have anywhere or anyone else to tell this to but here goes...

I broke more than a decade of no contact with my biological father today. I'm both proud and incredibly terrified but you know what?

See what fucking happens now that I'm not afraid of you anymore Troy. See what fucking happens.

It’s so crucial to my that the kitty LOVES Shane. Adores him. Gets nearly as excited to see him as Ilya does. She completely ignores Ilya for the first several hours of any Shane visit and Ilya can’t even bring himself to be insulted bc it’s how he feels about Shane too. Shane is dubious about this honor

i love shane who is just. PERPETUALLY a little suspicious of ryba and her motivations.

ryba, meanwhile??? ADORES him. cat-coded human!! hello!! where are we going? what are you looking at? what are you eating? can i sniff it? oh don't mind me i'll just sit right here-

"ilya, get your cat, she keeps following me to the bathroom"

"she doesn't want you to be lonely"

"okay, well, for the bathroom i would like to be lonely so please let her know that"

[penandinkprincess]

EXTREMELY funny to think that ryba is one of the rare cats who likes water, which means shane 100% one day gets to ilya's house before him, wants to shower off the airplane, and is just casually washing his hair out when he turns around and a sopping wet ryba is just There.

fully straight vibing and just hanging out with shane while he showers.

and shane just. TRULY does not know what the fuck to do here.

shane who has spent years sharing locker rooms and showers no problem who is suddenly VERY self-conscious in front of this cat who just invited herself into the shower with him.

and shane also is just??? aren't you supposed to hate water??? isn't that like. a THING for cats??? why are you PURRING?????

[ellisonwongparty]

the way rr/tierney introduce ilya is so funny to me because when you first see him you're just like jeez this guy is such an asshole why is he like this. and then seconds later it's just like um it's because he has a 1) dead mom 2) who killed herself 3) an abusive dad 4) with alzheimers 5) a brother 6) who verbally abuses him on the phone 7) when ilya refuses to wire him 50 bands all at once 8) all while he spends new years eve all alone in the grossest motel you've ever seen 9) and he's bisexual.

and you're just like. well shit. that will do it i guess.

Ta da, another snippet! Think I'm going to work on editing the first chapter in the next week or so so wish ya boi luck " He was stopped in his tracks by letting out another huge yawn and what did you know, just his luck.  When he'd raised his hand to cover his mouth, his jacket fell onto the floor.  For just a moment, he looked at Kip, then the floor, then back at Kip.  Bending down to pick it up, he fished around in one of the pockets before he found his wallet.  "… Well.  That happened.  Anyway, could you just pick out a couple of things from the case?" "

Scott's No good, very bad day

So... I did a thing. A Heated Rivalry/Game Changer thing. AKA I watched the show and read the books (I haven't started Eric and Kyle's yet) and immediately went: hey bitch, how about we create an entire OC and backstory about a man who was childhood friends with Ilya and is CURRENT best friends with a yet-to-come-out Scott Hunter? Well, weeks of obsession, fic reading, research and one discord server later... I have stuff written. Pls keep in mind that this is both highly unedited (this was the result of a sprint), but here's a snippet of my OC Mikhail after landing in New York:

"Was he planning on renting a car while he was here in New York? No, not really. After putting his duffel bag and backpack in the front seat of the car, Mikhail sighed and put his head against the steering wheel with a small thud that sounded far louder inside the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro than it had any right to. "Blyat." If he really had to be honest with himself, he was here to try and feel normal. Spending time with who was almost certainly his best friend (he still felt weird that he, a grown man, called Scott Hunter, fellow grown man and Captain of the Admirals his best friend but he digressed) would be good for him. They'd both met when they were rookies and bonded almost instantly."
